Every superhero protects their power source.

The same goes for the batteries that power many of the devices we use everyday. Paying attention to where batteries are kept, what they are exposed to, and what is around them can go a long way toward helping keep your home safer.

Sometimes the most powerful safety habits are also the simplest. Share this post and stay tuned for more battery safety tips!

🚒 Barrington Fire & Rescue Receives $73,904 FEMA Grant to Protect Firefighter Health 🚒

We're proud to share that at its October 5th meeting, the Barrington Select Board voted to accept a FEMA Assistance to Firefighters Grant that will fund a vehicle exhaust removal system in our fire station.

Diesel exhaust is a known cancer-causing agent and one of the biggest health risks firefighters face, even inside their own stations. Every time a fire truck or ambulance starts up in the bays, exhaust can drift into the areas where our crews live, work, and store their gear.

The new system connects directly to each vehicle's tailpipe, captures the exhaust the moment the engine starts, and vents it safely outside, then releases automatically as the vehicle heads out on a call. It will serve all seven of our apparatus and ambulance positions.

💲 Federal funds cover about 95% of the $77,600 project. The Town's share of $3,695 comes from existing fire equipment funds, so no new tax dollars are needed.

Thank you to FEMA and the Barrington Select Board for supporting this investment in the long-term health of the people who answer your calls. Healthier firefighters mean a stronger department for our community. We'll share updates as the project moves forward!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

This month, our crews are trading in our usual department shirts for pink to help raise awareness and show our support for those who have been affected by breast cancer.

We wear pink in honor of the fighters, the survivors, those we have lost, and the families who stand beside them every step of the way.

Early detection saves lives. Take care of yourself, look out for the people you love, and help us spread awareness throughout our community.
